I've recommended Metanx for a long time now. It is RX only, and some insurances do not pay for it still. I've posted it many times here.

I have noticed the website is different now. Not sure what that means.

I find it interesting that all 3 activated B's are in it. I see this as a good sign for patients.

There is another RX vitamin called Cerefolin.

This has P5P removed, and NAC -- n-acetyl cysteine added.
The NAC is to promote synthesis of glutathione.

There are studies showing methylcobalamin is very helpful to prevent neuro degeneration and neuropathies.

I find it fascinating that these vitamins help some people with symptoms of "schizophrenia". Me thinks that should be called symptoms of needing B vitamins instead of symptoms of "schizophrenia".

As for the new look of the website.... I cannot find the "Unaffected by the MTHFR polymorphism page which was EXCELLENT. The link had been: metanx.com/UnaffectedByTheCTPolymorphism which no longer works.

It showed the cycle using the vitamins. Maybe too many people were hitting the website just for that page?

I tried this and got some burning symptoms. I thought maybe it was the amount or ratio of folic acid in it for me.

So I combine them separately with the folic acid at a much lower level and am fine.

Life Extension has this: Pyridoxamine/B6/50 mg.
However, their B complex has something else for B6. This is causing a dilemma for me, since I don't really want to give up my B Complex (I take additional B12 along with it).

don't change. P5P is basically for people with failures in B6 metabolism. Since this has been a hidden issue, it is recommended for people with neuro problems (who may have metabolic failures and that is why they have neuro issues).

But if your product works for you, then you obviously don't need to change.

Nice to see you are back and safely too.

Hi. This is my first time here. I have been in emergency twice this week (only once before in my 40 years). I thought I was having a stroke because of tingling in my leg in the am, arm in the pm, and face the next day, my daughter's 10th birthday! The tingling in my leg has since subsided. They ruled out stroke. My strength and coordination are good. I did start taking a
B6, B12, Folic Acid formula 3 days prior to the onset of these symptoms. The amount of B6 is 50mg. The only other vitamin I have ever taken was a One-a-Day, which apparently has 1/20 the amount of B6. Dr.s are telling me B6 levels cannot be tested for with a blood test. I am scrambling, trying to figure out what is going on. I do not take any other drugs, and the only health problem I have is an underactive thyroid. I am on Synthroid for this.
Thank you.

It is hard to say without testing.

Bcomplex could be increasing healing in previously damaged areas, and tingling is a sign of nerves waking up (or dying).

The fact that B6 causes neuropathy at BOTH ends of its spectrum --too low and too high--- makes diagnosis difficult when symptoms appear.

Thyroid can cause weird sensations, and so can perturbations in calcium/magnesium status.

There are definitely blood tests for D,K, B12, B6, thiamine, folate.
There are also tests for red blood cell content of vitamins instead of serum which most doctors order. Spectracell labs do these.
